  • You:

    I’m not buying the fact that Israel has no plans to settle Lebanon

    I’m not selling that.

    I’m not commenting on Israeli intentions in Lebanon. I’m not defending Israel or their aims. I’m just commenting on one small thing:

    Is Israel advertising property for sale in Lebanon?

    And they aren’t.

    I’m not trying to convince you that it has some big implication for their intentions in Lebanon. It doesn’t. They just aren’t advertising property for sale in Lebanon. Whatever Israel’s intentions are, that claim is false.




  • Sure. First, is that an advertisement for property? No, it isn’t. The statement that it’s advertising property is false. It’s political propaganda designed to look like an advertisement.

    The state of Israel and political groups within that state are different entities. When the Proud Boys release some vile statement, I’m sure someone, somewhere is like “OMG look what the US is doing!” But the Proud Boys and the US state are different entities, even if the Proud Boys reside within the US state. Even if there are US officials whose values align closely with those chuds.

    The comment I replied to was wrong about both who was speaking and what they were saying.

    Is there some way that ‘The state of Israel is advertising property for sale in Lebanon’ is a true statement?
